CAPE VINCENT — Once again, an attempt by Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey to hold up wind power development failed to pass the Town Council.

Mr. Hirschey had proposed a moratorium first at a special meeting Aug. 17, when it failed to pass.

On Thursday night, Mr. Hirschey suggested a moratorium which would last until March 1 or the state Attorney General's office has completed its investigation into potential misconduct by town officials related to wind power development.
